We are trying to raise money for Bark Park lights. On those hot summer days, it would be nice to take Fido to the Bark Park in the evenings after it cools down a bit. If we get new lighting this summer, the Bark Park will stay open until 11:00 PM!

Thank you all, for bringing your fur babies here to play!

🍂🐾 Thanksgiving Alert for Pet Parents! 🐾🍂
As we gather around the table this season, it's tempting to let our furry family members join in the feast. But remember, not all Thanksgiving treats are pup-friendly! 🚫🍗

While sharing this special day with our four-legged friends is a joy, it's vital to keep their safety in mind. Some of our favorite holiday foods can be harmful, or even dangerous, to dogs. Let's make sure our celebrations don't end with an unwanted trip to the vet. Stay tuned for a list of dog-safe foods to keep the tail wags coming!

Please consider supporting this Exeter based group they work to bridge the gap between community volunteers and rescues and shelters!

At Underdog Adventures, our ✨️mission✨️ is to bridge the gap between adoptable dogs and their forever families, by harnessing the power of community volunteers. Our ✨️focus✨️ is to help expose high-risk and vulnerable dogs who are long-term shelter or rescue residents, or deemed unadoptable due to breed stigma.

🐾We are currently partnered with Central Valley Rescue Railroad and PAW Estate Rescue and Shelter Inc, and hope to partner with more as we gain more volunteers.

With that being said....
🚩We are looking to expand, and need volunteers!🚩
As a volunteer, you would spend your time with adoptable dogs, helping at adoption events or taking them on adventures to help expose them in our community.

❤️Please reach out to us if you would like more information on volunteering with us.❤️

Just a friendly reminder to check the park when you arrive.

⚠️Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to completely eliminate the possibility of items like this entering the park. It's important to scan the park to make sure your pet is safe from items like cigarette butts, chicken bones and gum.

🎒Remember, if you brought it to the park, take it with you when you leave.

🗑️There is a trash can inside the park, inside the gated entry and directly outside the park.

🏞️Please take extra care of our beautiful park and help keep out pet community safe.

Meet Buckshot, a handsome senior heeler that has lived 10 incredible years as a blind dog. Buck loves to give kisses, chase his ball and sun bathe.

Although having a blind dog can require more attention than a seeing dog, this day is to raise awareness.

This day started six years ago to educate others on how wonderful blind pets can be, regardless of their abilities.

When adopting, please don't forget that ALL animals need homes. ALL animals deserve love and all animals can give love, despite certain limitations.

Microchips have been used on animals for almost 35 years and is mandated in some countries. Almost any animal can be microchipped and the chip stays in for life. If you have a check up planned get your pet chipped. Always make sure your chip is functional and contains up to date contact information.

Mosquitos: They carry West Nile Virus and Saint Louis Encephalitis which can attack the brain. While there is not a current vaccine for WNV, you can still take steps to avoid mosquitos.

Ticks: More often found in wooded areas, they wait to cling to your pet. They can cause serious illness, affecting the lymophatic, nervous and immune systems. ALWAYS perform a tick check on your pets if they have been in these areas.

Fleas: Adult fleas bite and can lead to itching, scabs and hairloss on pets. Once they lay their eggs, they cannot survive long if not on a pet. They also lay their eggs in shady areas outside. Fleas can also cause infections.

Always consult your vet before using flea medications or other deterrents.
